AFTER VELVET
long-term exhibition
Dům U Zlatého prstenu /The Golden Ring/
Tue – Sun 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
The renovated space of the Golden Ring House will once again come to life with a new exhibition, After Velvet, which will open on November 17th, 2009, exactly 20 years after the Velvet Revolution. The exhibit was conceived by curators of City Gallery Prague Sandra Baborovská and Karel Srp. The post-November retrospective features the work of several generations of Czech artists from 1989 to the present. These will not be presented chronologically, but rather in thematic groups comprised of the works of different generations of living artists. Visitors will encounter recent creations by younger contemporary Czech artists who were only partially affected by the communist regime, alongside the work of an older generation which was primarily trained at the Academy of Fine Arts or the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and which laid the groundwork for the diverse post-revolution art scene.
After Velvet aims to address the viewer with its multiple layers of meaning and striking visual allure.
Admission: CZK 120 / 60
Exhibition autors: Sandra Baborovská and Karel Srp
